Mahomes completed 23-of-35 passes for 294 yards and three touchdowns in the Chiefs’ AFC title win over the Titans. He also added eight scrambles for 53 yards and a rushing score in the win. Versus Houston in the AFC Divisional round, the Chiefs signal-caller completed 23-of-35 passes for 321 yards and five touchdowns while rushing seven times for an additional 53 yards in the win.
While I do believe tonight’s game will result in a shootout and I do envision a scenario in which the Chiefs fall behind and have to rely on the 24-year-old’s arm to save them, I’m fading public perception tonight with Mahomes.
Over a much larger sample size during the regular season, Mahomes averaged 22.79 completions per game this year on 34.57 pass attempts. He also fell below 300 passing yards per game at 287.93 and below two touchdowns at 1.86.
It’s not surprising to see that oddsmakers have inflated the key props for the most popular player in the Super Bowl. While it’s a risk to take the under when it comes to any Mahomes prop, I’m siding with the numbers.
Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl 54 Prop Predictions:
UNDER 25 Total Completions (-110)
UNDER 37.5 Pass Attempts (-110)
UNDER 305.5 Passing Yards (-110)
